FRONT PANEL

1. Rack Mounting Ears - Two front panel mounting holes are provided on

each mounting ear.

2. Rack Handle - PA Series amplifiers are designed with rack handle at

two each side. It's not only to make the entire design elegant but more

practical and convenient for users.

3. Fan Inlet Grills and Filter - PA Series amplifiers are cooled by two rear

mounted fans. Cool air from front grills is filtered and flows over the

heatsinks and exhausts to back side.

Make sure these outlets remain clear to allow unrestricted air flow.

4. AC Power Switch - PA Series amplifiers have a front-panel AC mains

power switch.

5. Power Indicator - This LED will glow when mains power is applied to

the unit. This light may continue to glow briefly after mains power has

been turned off, this is normal.

6. Channel 1-4 Signal Indicator - This LED indicates that a signal (above

a minimum threshold) is present at the amplifier input, and that the

signal is being amplified.

7. Channel 1-4 Clip Indicator - This LED will begin to flash when the

channel begins to overload (clip), at this point the channel will begin to

distort. Under heavy clipping activity, lower the channel's gain control to

reduce the risk of damage to your speakers and amplifier. This LED may

glow when the unit has been turned off, this is normal.

8. Channel 1-4 Gain Control - This rotary knob is used to control the

output signal level of the channel. Turning the knob in clockwise

direction will increase output signal level.

INPUTS - The PA Series amplifier allows you to use two types of input connectors per channel, a XLR female jack for balanced connections

and a 1/4” TRS female jack that will accept balanced and unbalanced connectors. Use these connections to connect the output signal from a

mixer, cross-over or EQ to your PA Series amplifiers. A balanced connection is recommended for cable runs longer than 20ft. When constructing

your own XLR cables follow the pin configuration described below for proper connections. For cable runs shorter than 20ft., you may choose the

1/4” TS unbalanced input option. The 1/4” TS unbalanced input option may be more convenient for most users due to the abundant supply of

prefabricated cables available at your local audio dealer.

BINDING POST/BANANA PLUG: Connect your speakers to the binding post outputs on the rear of the amplifier. The speaker wire may be

connected by bare wire (directly connected, usually for permanent connections), banana plug, or spade connector. Connections are made to

channel one and channel two outputs for Stereo Mode or across the red terminals of channel one and channel two for Mono Bridge Mode.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Although a speaker will operate with the positive and negative leads plugged into either terminal on the amplifier binding

post, be sure to plug the negative lead into the black terminal and positive lead into the red terminal. Ensuring proper polarity will avoid speakers

being out of phase that can cause a loss of bass response.

When connecting your speakers to the amplifier using bare wire, unscrew the red and black caps on the

binding post, be sure not to completely remove or unscrew the red and black caps. Strip back the wire

insulation 1/2” (13mm). Insert the bare wire into the hole that was revealed by unscrewing the binding

post cap. After inserting the wire into the binding post hole, screw the binding post cap down on the wire.

To reduce the risk of shock or damage to your amplifier, be sure that the wire connected to one binding

post does not come in contact with that of another.

SPADE CONNECTOR : (Figure 8)

When connecting your speakers to the amplifier using spade connector; unscrew the red and black caps

on the binding post, be sure not to completely remove or unscrew the red and black caps. Insert the spade

connector into the binding post and tighten the caps down on the spade connector. To reduce the risk of

shock or damage to your amplifier, be sure that the wire connected to one binding post does not come in

contact with that of another.

MONO BRIDGE CONNECTIONS : (Figure 9)

Mono bridge operation connections will follow the above descriptions, however, when operating in mono

bridge operation the speaker connections will run between the two positive (red) leads. Use channel two

positive output terminal for the negative connection and the channel one positive output terminal for the

positive connection.

OPERATING MODES

STEREO OPERATION : Connect your inputs into channels one and two, also channels three and four of the amplifier. Connect your speakers to the outputs on

the rear of the amplifier. Be sure that your front gain controls are turned down to their lowest level (fully counterclockwise). Turn your amplifier on. Turn your input

source level up. Use your front gain controls to regulate the output volume. Be sure not to raise the volume to the clip level, however an intermittent clip signal is

acceptable.

MONO BRIDGE OPERATION : Be sure your amplifier and all other audio equipment are powered down. Press the Bridge button. Connect input signals to

channels one and two, or three and four. Connect your speaker across the red output binding post on the rear of your amplifier. Turn your equipment on (your amplifier

should always be the last item you turn on). Apply an input source signal to your amplifier. Use the channel one and three gain controls to regulate your amplifier output.

PARALLEL MONO : Parallel ties each two channel line inputs together, channels one and two, two and three or three and four, that they will be driven by the same

signal, without the need for external jumpers or wiring. Four amplifier channels will operate independently. Though they carry the same signal, their gain controls affect

only their respective channels, and they both must use their respected speaker outputs. Never attempt to parallel the speaker outputs, this may cause serious damage

to your amplifier! To run in parallel mono mode connect your system as you would if you were going to run in stereo mode. Then press the Parallel button. Be sure the

amplifier is off or the power is disconnected before making any changes.

SUBWOOFER MODE : This mode sends low frequencies to your speakers without the use of an external cross-over. The subwoofer operation can be operated in

mono only. Set the subwoofer mode switch of the channel three to the “ON” position. Use the frequency selector to adjust the subwoofer output frequency from 20Hz to

200Hz. In addition, the channel two and channel three “PARALLEL” switch sets these two channels in parallel mode, therefore when the “Subwoofer” switch is set to

ON, channel two will simultaneously operated as a subwoofer channel same as channel three.

ONE CHANNEL NORMAL / ONE CHANNEL SUBWOOFER (BI-AMP) - You may also use your amplifier to bi-amp your system. You may use one side of the amplifier

to power a subwoofer and the other side to power a full range speaker. Follow the set-up guides listed above to mix and match your operations.

PROTECTION

1. SWITCH ON MUTE PROTECTION - The mute circuit is used at the inputs when the unit switched ON, output of between a few seconds the amplifier will

be muted. This is done so that turn-on/off noises from mixers and other gear is blocked in case the entire system is powered up at once.

2. SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION - The PA series comes with built-in Output Short Circuit Protects. The Output Short

Circuit Protection protects the output devices of the amplifier from short circuits and stressful loads. If your speaker lines

shorted, the amplifier automatically detects this problem and discontinued operation for that channel. If one side of your

amplifier becomes shorted and goes into protect mode, the other side will continue to operate normally. Channel output during

the “Short Circuit Protection" will be interrupted (i.e. no sound output). Short Circuit Protection can usually be traced back to the

signal output line (i.e. speaker line). Check the line from the output terminal of the amplifier to the speaker. If this line is good,

check the internal speaker connections and components. A short circuit will usually be traced to a bad cable or a bad speaker

component and is rarely traced to the amplifier itself.

UNiKA PA-664/PA-1804

3. OVERHEATING PROTECTION - The PA series amplifiers are cooled by Dual 2-speed fans, and always are kept at moderate temperature. During low

level output the fans run at normal speeds. During high output and as heat raises, (exceeding 50°C.), the fans will run at higher speeds to aid the cooling process.

If the heatsink temperature exceeds 91°C., the amplifier will mute until the amplifier cools down. When the amplifier cools below 90°C., the amplifier will return to

normal operations. Be sure not to operate your amplifier below the minimum load ratings to reduce the risk of overheating problems.

4. DC CIRCUIT PROTECTION - If dangerous subsonic frequencies or direct current (DC) is detected in the amplifier's output, the unit will activate its DC/low-

frequency protection circuitry and the amplifier will be muted. This protects the loads and prevents oscillations. The unit will resume normal operation while the

amplifier no longer detects dangerous low-frequency or DC output.
